The correct answer is manifest destiny.

Manifest destiny is the belief that it was America's god given right to expand from "sea to shining sea." In other words, it was America's destiny to expand their control across the entire North American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This belief resulted in the US buying land from other countries, fighting in wars, and taking land from Native Americans in order to achieve this goal. This was present throughout American society during the early to middle of the 19th century.

Describe the daily lives of medieval europeans including their homes, occupations, education, and leisure activites

Mandarinka [93]

A medieval european was most likely a serf, peasant, or a craftsman of some sort. These people represented the majority of the living populace in Europe in the middle ages. Their homes were simple, without excess luxury. They had the most basic necessities, but did not have much more, because they could not afford it. Families often lived together in huts where there was only one big space with a kitchen and a gathering place somewhere in the middle. Most European citizens at the time weren't educated, farmers, peasants, and serfs usually did not receive any formal education or very little, if they were lucky enough to be taught by the local priest or had somebody in their family that was educated. Their leisure activities were different from what we would call leisure activities today, they could singing, dancing, drinking, storytelling, etc. but how they did these things was quite different compared to today.

1. List the names and accomplishments of two women's rights reformers from the 1800s (4 points)

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1) Women’s rights movement, also called women’s liberation movement, diverse social movement, largely based in the United States, that in the 1960s and ’70s sought equal rights and opportunities and greater personal freedom for women. It coincided with and is recognized as part of the “second wave” of feminism. While the first-wave feminism of the 19th and early 20th centuries focused on women’s legal rights, especially the right to vote (see women’s suffrage), the second-wave feminism of the women’s rights movement touched on every area of women’s experience—including politics, work, the family, and sexuality. Organized activism by and on behalf of women continued through the third and fourth waves of feminism from the mid-1990s and the early 2010s, respectively. For more discussion of historical and contemporary feminists and the women’s movements they inspired, see feminism.

<h3 /><h2>2)Prologue To A Social Movement:-</h2>

In the aftermath of World War II, the lives of women in developed countries changed dramatically. Household technology eased the burdens of homemaking, life expectancies increased dramatically, and the growth of the service sector opened up thousands of jobs not dependent on physical strength. Despite these socioeconomic transformations, cultural attitudes (especially concerning women’s work) and legal precedents still reinforced sexual inequalities. An articulate account of the oppressive effects of prevailing notions of femininity appeared in Le Deuxième Sexe (1949; The Second Sex), by the French writer and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir. It became a worldwide best seller and raised feminist consciousness by stressing that liberation for women was liberation for men too.

<h2>3)Reformers And Revolutionaries :-</h2><h2 />

Initially, women energized by Friedan’s book joined with government leaders and union representatives who had been lobbying the federal government for equal pay and for protection against employment discrimination. By June 1966 they had concluded that polite requests were insufficient. They would need their own national pressure group—a women’s equivalent of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). With this, the National Organization for Women (NOW) was born.

<h2>4)Successes And Failures</h2>

With the eventual backing of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (1965), women gained access to jobs in every corner of the U.S. economy, and employers with long histories of discrimination were required to provide timetables for increasing the number of women in their workforces. Divorce laws were liberalized; employers were barred from firing pregnant women; and women’s studies programs were created in colleges and universities. Record numbers of women ran for—and started winning—political office. In 1972 Congress passed Title IX of the Higher Education Act, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program receiving federal funds and thereby forced all-male schools to open their doors to women and athletic programs to sponsor and finance female sports teams. And in 1973, in its controversial ruling on Roe v. Wade, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion.
